What Clients Are Saying
"The best part was seeing everyone working together, asking for each other’s help in a beautiful kitchen with experienced chefs. It was well organized, clean and a totally different experience."
Lori Magnussen
ADM


"The best part was having the team see each other in a different setting without talking about work. [The Parties That Cook] team was knowledgeable and made us all feel like we were learning something and made delicious food at the same time."
Trudi Barnes
MAP Pharmaceuticals

"Having a professional chef to assist us through this adventure was VERY helpful! The chefs assigned to each table were extremely knowledgeable about their craft and open to any and all questions about the food and cooking. The food was amazing. Parties that cook gave us wonderful and fresh ingredients that made the food taste delicious!"
Jessica Smith
Genentech

"The best part was that it was almost no effort on my part to plan or set up. All I had to do was pick a date, pick out dishes, and pick the music. Parties That Cook took care of everything else! Everyone was so impressed that everything was ready to go when we got there. The lead chef also showed us how to tweak dishes along the way for an extra special experience."
